Linux Lite Forums

Before switching to Linux Lite, i had Linux mint.

On both of them the technicians could not install an Epson printer;

They advized me to buy a HP printer  > same impossible to install it.

Even another technician - specialized in Linux - could not install the scanner nor the printer.

So can anyone tell me if there are perfect drivers for installing it on linux Lite ?

Thousand thanks

My best bet, would be doing what I did with my HP Deskjet 3630, as described here:

A Linux technician could not install it?? Send him/her back to University

It's not officially supported, I gues HP skipped over it (unusual). You'll have to use the IPP method - https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt...p?t=239561 and https://scruss.com/blog/2019/05/02/possi...pberry-pi/

Sorry not sure why, font size went haywire. 

I experienced problems  with a HP Envy 5640 Multifunction printer that had worked perfectly under LL 3.8 but failed to work under LL 5.2. After doing some research I discovered that there is a known and well documented bug relating to several HP Printers and Ubuntu 20.04 which LL5.2 is based on.
The fix is as simple as opening XFCE terminal and then typing "sudo apt purge ippusbxd" enter. when complete, reboot PC and then print test page from printers properties page. ALL functions worked i.e. scanner, print multiple pages to single sheet etc - perfectly for me after following the above instructions and should solve all your issues also
